An arrest warrant has been issued for former University of Evansville basketball coach Walter McCarty after McCarty did not appear in court yesterday. McCarty was ordered to appear in court Thursday in connection to a civil case after he reportedly defaulted on a $75,000 line of credit from Old National Bank. In September a second bank, Federal Savings Bank, said McCarty defaulted on a $45,000 loan after he signed a promissory note in 2018. McCarty left the University of Evansville after being fired in January with the university citing “behavior contrary to the core values of our University.” McCarty was placed on administrative leave in December amid an investigation regarding alleged Title IX violations. Bond is set at $500, cash only.
The Falcons finally found a way to hold on to a fourth-quarter lead as they edged the Panthers 25-17 on “Thursday Night Football.” Matt Ryan finished the game completing 21-of-30 passes (70 percent) for 281 yards for Atlanta. He didn’t have any touchdown passes, but he did have a surprise rushing score as he fooled the Carolina defense on a 13-yard scramble into the end zone midway through the third quarter to trim the Falcons’ deficit to 14-13. The Falcons (2-6) are still at the bottom of the NFC South standings but creep a little bit closer, while the Panthers (3-5) drop their third-straight contest.
